Under CMS guidelines, a hospital may limit or ban visitors so a patient can rest. For example, in ICU there are limits of one or two at a time and only for short visits, maybe 15 minutes. This is for the comfort of the patient.

Nothing at the time we was there sunday. Only the nurses say is something happen with other family member that visted that day. And the doctor band all visitors that was there that day.. What i dont understand if they know the person how did what every they are talking about.. Why for action of someone eles also apply to others .that dont even know what happened. They say cant say because of laws. My husband called crying to the nurses asking them why all they say sorry i know u wasnt infovoled sir .nures even tryed told us the doctor new the person. They even said the doctor would call but he never did. Ive googled called and ive still got no were.

I dont understand how a doctor can take your rights to see and loveone .when you have done nothing wrong. Never was informed of acction. Just called to check on him.. No poa,or hippa . this has been so painfull also stressful. Ive called different places to get answer no reply. I even call corporate office, ive google research, and only found that he took out human Rights. But my goal right now is finding out we can vist him. After that i think lawyer,i live in us

Yes he was in a coma his hole body shutdown.hes still in liver failure kindey failure doing dailysis.he can talk but not walking ,his mined comes and goes ,he does have none over him, his in a hostipal

No, a doctor does not have the right to ban family members from visiting without a reason. When you ask, what reason are you given?

Is your brother in a hospital, nursing home, hospice house -- just where is he? Have you visited him at all since he has been there? If so, how did that go? Do you have other family members who are allowed to visit him?

Are you in the US?

I don't know what "came out com" means. Has he been in a coma?

Your profile says that your husband is in hospital. So you have two loved ones to visit? How very stressful for you. I am so sorry.

I am sorry for all the questions, but I think we could give better suggestions if we knew a little more about the situation.

If bro is competent he needs to execute a POA. Maybe the state has assigned a guardian on an emergency basis if he doesn't have a POA? Guardian may have made that decision of no visitors. If you cause disruption doc may institute no visitors policy. Do you have at least a HIPPA release that permits you to receive bro's medical information? What else is there to this story?
